What is this resonance cone you talk about?
To be honest, when I put on the magnaflow, it seem like something is blocking for all the air to be released, like its restricted. But then again, I guess thats why there was two mufflers. I think for the 545, QUADS are a must......

i think i understand what youre referring to? in manual trans, the driver has the ability to stay in low gear, thus maintaining the rpms higher for consistent sound. in auto, the trans constantly switches gears for best fuel economy, thus keeping the rpms low. in essence, the sport auto is behaving like manual by maintaining the rpms higher.

Very well put, thank. I guess to duplicate that, have to be in manual or DS Mode.
